This concentration is offered within the Bachelor of Science in engineering physics program.
Drive industrial innovation
You will design the machines and systems that keep our world moving. Mechanical engineers apply the laws of physics to create everything from energy-efficient power plants to precision robotics. Thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics and the mechanics of materials are only a few areas of which you'll become an expert.
An engineering physics degree with a mechanical concentration is a powerful, versatile qualification. Because it combines deep scientific understanding with practical engineering design, you are well-positioned to solve complex, interdisciplinary problems that traditional single-discipline engineers might not be trained to handle.
Your impact on the modern world
Almost every sector of today's economy needs someone with this expertise.
- Aerospace and defense: Working on aircraft, spacecraft, or missile systems.
- Automotive: Designing components for suspension, aerodynamics, or hybrid propulsion systems.
- Renewable energy: Engineering solutions for solar, wind, or hydropower technologies.
- Robotics and automation: Building and maintaining autonomous systems and advanced manufacturing robots.
- Manufacturing: Developing processes to create components for medical devices, consumer electronics, or industrial machinery.
